Magic Kingdom’s newest ride is one of its most thrilling, with a super fast launch, a race through the Grid, and fun TRON details that make you feel immersed in the world of the Tron movies! Well, we just got a chance to ride it and we’re going to tell you EVERYTHING about the ride and, hopefully, answer any questions you may have!
We’re always scoping out great viewing locations for fireworks at Walt Disney World. When your day ends in the Magic Kingdom, it’s a fan tradition to stay for the magical fireworks.
Playing until April 2, 2023, Disney Enchantment is a fireworks and projection show that debuted as part of the 50th Anniversary celebration. While the show focuses on the park’s centerpiece — Cinderella Castle, the projections actually go ALL the way down Main Street, U.S.A.). We can’t wait for Happily Ever After to return to Magic Kingdom on April 3, 2023 with all-new projections!
It’s a great display!
We want to share some of our favorite fireworks spots at Magic Kingdom. After all, at the end of a Magic Kingdom day you just might be too tired to strategize, and that’s why we encourage you to plan ahead.
Can you believe it’s almost time for TRON to debut?!
TRON
TRON Lightcycle / Run officially opens in Magic Kingdom on April 4th, 2023, but Disney is hosting previews for select groups of people. We’ve seen teaser after teaser and we’ve been watching the construction for years, but it is TIME — we got to ride TRON!
If you’re a big Disney fan, you’ve probably noticed that the company is leaning pretty heavily into its intellectual property at the moment.
Cinderella Castle
They’re relying on big brands and franchises like Star Wars and Marvel to carry the Disney+ streaming service, and they’re bringing films like Moana, Frozen, and Guardians of the Galaxy prominently into the parks. And most of the time, we understand WHY they choose to feature the films that they do…but there’s one film that Disney CEO Bob Iger has mentioned frequently that we’re a little confused about.
Disney World is known as the most magical place on earth, so it’s no wonder even celebrities will face the crowds to experience it.
Cinderella Castle
Stars from Ariana Grande to Chris Evans and tons of stars in between have been known to head to Disney World from time to time — and today we saw a MAJOR celebrity walking around Magic Kingdom!
The battle surrounding Disney’s Reedy Creek District has only just begun.

The Reedy Creek Improvement District (now called the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District — “the District”) previously gave Disney a substantial amount of control over the land it sits on — it worked that way for 50+ years. But now things have changed. In the aftermath of the friction between Disney and Florida Governor Ron Desantis over Disney’s reaction to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill, the Florida legislature and DeSantis signed a bill into law that was going to dissolve RCID in June of 2023. Plans later changed and while the District itself has continued, it now has a new Board appointed by the Governor (not voted in by Disney) and is subject to new rules. But that’s not the end of the story.
Disney World rides will sometimes close temporarily due to technical difficulties or bad weather. Other times, the rides close for scheduled maintenance.

TRON Lighcycle / Run is already bringing riders into the Grid and on an adventure to a new world. But, the TRON world isn’t the only new thing guests will experience on this ride. Disney announced that guests will be able to stow their belongings in lockers before they ride TRON — and we’re sharing a look at just how that works!
